Just found your channel. Subbed. This what I do as well. We also store Passata stored in the freezer. Tesla's videos are great. Greetings from Australia. Long live the mason jar.
I watched another video before this one. I liked this one much better! I am staying with a friend on vacation! In my room is a dehydrator, so I think I’m going to get some and make some tomato powder. Thank you ever so much and your directions were very clear.
I want to buy tomato powder and have it NOT turn into an unusable rock. Does freezing glass jars of tomato powder result in the powder not absorbing humidity and thus NOT turning into a rock?
I grew Opalka, Federle, Amish Paste, and Bremmer this year. I really liked Amish Paste and Bremmer the best but will give the others a re-trial next year- We had a tough early season and anything late did better. Making powder for the first time and batch 1 turned out great. Thanks for some ideas on how to use and store. I'll be using my vacuum machine with the mason jar vacuum attachment. If using salt, how much per cup of tomato powder? TY
I'm sorry I can't answer your question on salt. I like salt and use probably 1/8 part salt to 1 part tomato powder, but it is really personal. I'm growing Federle for the first time this year btw....read good things about this variety.
These types of videos are always so disappointing. They don't really tell you anything, just direct you to go elsewhere to get the real information. Meanwhile, I've wasted ten minutes of my time not finding real recipes for anything. At least put one decent recipe in, otherwise it's just lying.
Sorry you wasted your time. I made it just like I do at home every step of the way. It’s for visual learners. Directing you to the written recipe is the same recipe, just for people that learn by text instead of visual. Not sure what else I should have done to show you. Can’t put the 1000 word text in the description that has all the tips in written form.
I thought your list of ideas was just the ticket. I can take an idea and look up a recipe. I made some tomato powder and my mom was wondering what she could do with it- I'll be playing your video for her. Thank you.
I have a huge freezer full of tomatoes from last year I would love to be hydrated a lot of them and free up some freezer space for the next growing season how do you suggest I do it from Frozen tomatoes? thaw first?
Hmmm, good question! I freeze a lot of tomatoes and when thawed they release a lot of their juice so I wouldn’t just put them in the dehydrator frozen or you might get a big mess. I would try thawing them in a strainer over a bowl (save the tomato water for bloody marys or for cooking). Then try them in the dehydrator. Are they whole, sliced or chopped?
Just made some tomato powder today and wasn't sure what to do with it. So, I can mix it with equal parts water, simmer till thickened, and make tomato paste? I could go one step further and freeze it by the TBS for later use, right?
Yes, those would be good uses. I usually keep it by the stove in Fall/Winter and sprinkle a bit in whatever I’m making. Good with scrambled eggs, chile, pasta sauces, stews, etc. A teaspoon or so adds a punch of flavor to most things.
Yes, just choose “meaty” tomatoes rather than “juicy” ones (i.e., Romas or plums rather than slicers), cut them into small pieces, (add salt if desired) , spread out on a cookie sheet and cook for a long time in a 200 degree F oven. The length of time to dehydrate in an oven will depend largely on the type of tomato. Just be sure they are all the way dried or they will mold. You can store them forever if they are dried all the way.
It’s like a dried spice. If it is dried properly it never goes “bad”. It will lose some of its intensity of flavor over time if not stored properly. Store covered in a dry cool spot.

Must visit cooking with nadira
I watched another video before this one. I liked this one much better! I am staying with a friend on vacation! In my room is a dehydrator, so I think I’m going to get some and make some tomato powder. Thank you ever so much and your directions were very clear.
Thank you and best of luck. I use it all winter!

Nice recipe ❤

sounds good.. tomatoe gravy is good too
Mmm, that sounds good. What do you use for the base besides the powder?
Pretty cut and dried video. Very simple, down to earth.

nice
Can you dehydrate tomatoes enough in the oven to make tomato paste
Yes, just choose “meaty” tomatoes rather than “juicy” ones (i.e., Romas or plums rather than slicers), cut them into small pieces, (add salt if desired) , spread out on a cookie sheet and cook for a long time in a 200 degree F oven. The length of time to dehydrate in an oven will depend largely on the type of tomato. Just be sure they are all the way dried or they will mold. You can store them forever if they are dried all the way.
Can it be preserve in a sealed nylon
Yes, if the powder is dried completely you can store it in anything. Just know that if the nylon “breathes” it may lose it’s potency faster.
how do you know when it goes bad?
It’s like a dried spice. If it is dried properly it never goes “bad”. It will lose some of its intensity of flavor over time if not stored properly. Store covered in a dry cool spot.
Can it be sealed in a nylon
yes, just make sure it is completely dried
